Balanced Running

Balanced Running is a game about timing. You make a puppet walk by holding a button, and the length of each hold decides the size of the step. If you hold too long, the character takes a long step and may fail.

The aim is to keep your steps balanced and get the character to the finish. The description says it is hard at first and recommends two-player mode for more fun with a friend.

The source does not say which keys the two players use, so check the on-screen instructions at the start. Races like this are short on rules and long on practice, which makes it good for people who like simple controls. Try shorter, steadier presses rather than one long hold, and let your friend see how you do it.
